Chapter 46

“Relatives?” That’s what Erwa said

“Boss?” Lin Minjun directly puffed out a laugh

Both siblings were puzzled at the same time

Lin Minjun got off the bike, took out a candy and handed it to Dog Egg, then asked, “When did Erwa become your boss?”

“Always” Dog egg smiled with a sneaky look in his eyes

Erwa also jumped out of the car bucket, stood beside the dog egg and smiled, “Sister, you don’t have to ask”

In fact, because in the past, Erwa’s reputation in the hutongs was not good, every household lost something to say that it was stolen by Erwa, and also instructed their children not to play with Erwa, and over time, the children did not take care of Erwa

But after Lin Minjun came, she helped Erwa to clear his reputation of stealing, and now the parents in the hutongs have no prejudice against Erwa, and always say that Erwa has good grades, and that he can get first place without studying, so that their children can follow his example

So now Erwa has become the king of the children in the hutong by virtue of his own cleverness and achievement

Dog egg is his henchman, his lapdog, serious

“But Dog Egg, what did you just say? What relative?” Lin Minjun asked again

This reminds the dog egg, he puts the round fat belly a collection, have a style to Erwa report, “Boss, I just saw your family came to the relatives Oh, also took a lot of things to”

“What relatives? What do they look like?” Erwa was first stunned, thinking that the relatives of the family as early as 800 years ago do not contact, how can suddenly come to the door

Before he could react, Dog Egg said the specifics, “Three adults, two of them walked in, the other was carried in, as if they were sick, I see that they brought packages, you’ve got something to eat”

Said the dog egg licked his mouth, his relatives are good, back and forth to the door will bring their own chicken, either sun dried yams, every time the family once the relatives, the dog egg will know that there are good food, he also want to come home to relatives ah

Dog egg is still laughing, suddenly saw Erwa face changed

Erwa thought back to the words that Dog Egg described, and guessed it at once, his face white as paper, looking to Lin Minjun, “Sister, it’s them”

“Them? Who?”

Lin Minjun guessed it at once, “Your relatives from your hometown? The ones who took you away?”

Erwa nodded, grasping Lin Minjun’s hand, “They’re looking for them, it can’t be because that person froze to death, right?”

“Don’t scare yourself, you’re only eleven years old, it’s not like you’re in jail, let’s see what’s going on with them, grab my hand, let’s go in first and take a look” Lin Minjun forced herself to calm down

She looked around, first parked the tricycle at the far end of the hutong, and specially locked it, and deposited the dishes she brought back at the dog egg’s house, she walked into the courtyard with two empty hands, leading only a scared waif

With a creak, pushed the door in, through the shadow wall, and saw the situation inside

Once in the courtyard stood a lot of people, most of them are out of the courtyard to see the crowd, see them back, all hiding away

After this group of people left, you can see clearly, a middle-aged man wearing a black cotton jacket, also with a big cotton hat, standing beside him is a big woman, the other is the person who carried over, sleeping on a door, wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, still coughing non-stop

Lin Minjun with Erwa just ready to go into the courtyard, the damsel heard the movement, turned to look at, immediately open teeth and claws to pounce here, voice sharp rushed over to Erwa, “You murderer, little brat! I’ve never seen you strike so black, see what my son has been beaten into?”

“Look at you, in the middle of winter, you almost beat someone to death!” This damsel added another sentence, practically howling, and rushed over

Lin Minjun reacted quickly and immediately stood in front of Erwa, hiding him behind herself, looking this damsel up and down, “Who are you?”

“I, I’m here to ask for money!” This damsel howled without even thinking

Lin Minjun’s face went cold, “Extortion, right, blackmail, right, come to the door to ask for money for no reason, first follow me to the police station?”

With that, she tugged on the elder woman’s sleeve, “Go!”

She hit this out of the people caught off guard, the rhythm is disrupted, the damsel out of a few steps suddenly shook off Lin Minjun’s hand, stammered for half a day, only uttered a sentence, “My son was beaten up, have to compensate for the money!”

“Then you have to tell us first, who are you, who broke it, how did you break it, tell us clearly one by one” Lin Minjun’s attitude was also tough, “Otherwise, talk about it and you’ll have to go to the police station”

This voice reminded a group of people, immediately someone came up and asked, “We’re looking for Erwa, then who are you?”

“This is my sister” Erwa said from behind

Lin Minjun looked at the middle-aged man who came up to ask and stared at him

The middle-aged man then took his cotton hat, his expression honest, “I’m Erwa’s eldest uncle, Erwa’s father is my brother”

“This is your daughter-in-law?” Lin Minjun asked, pointing at the elder woman

“We’re not two, I’m a distant relative from the village, your brother broke my son!” The damsel yelled

Lin Minjun remained calm, “What kind of beating, why don’t you show us”

This damsel immediately went to the door panel next to the door, lifted up the tightly covered quilt, and then took off the hat, the door panel was a young man, immediately still yelling, “Ouch my mother, headache, leg pain, I’m in pain!”

Auntie face heartache, also helped to say, “head hit bad, legs are also frozen The doctor said that in the future the brain may not work well, and the legs can’t walk, my son hasn’t even gotten a daughter-in-law yet, so he must give me a statement today!”

Lying on the door of the young man, at first glance the injury is indeed very serious, the head wrapped solidly, layer after layer, piercing white, white people’s heart jumping, gauze can also be seen vaguely printed out blood, the leg is injured more seriously, far from the past, the man below the waist, all the way to the toes of the blue, obviously frostbite

The elder woman lifted her son’s legs, soft and insensible, “See? These two legs are ruined”

Erwa sucked in a mouthful of cold air and whispered to Lin Minjun from behind, “Sister, something’s really wrong, he’s frostbitten!”

In the end, he was an eleven year old waif, with a high IQ and a smart brain, but at first glance, when he heard that he had victimized someone by having his legs ruined for the rest of his life, of course he would panic, of course he would be scared

Lin Minjun, however, narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice as well, “Not necessarily, let’s take a look first”

How does she feel that this matter is so strange ah, when Erwa came back, he said that he was taking advantage of the middle of the night to escape, to say the least, it was three or four o’clock, that person is still collapsed indoors, the house still has a coal stove, how can it be so much effort to freeze his legs like that

The first step back to say, frozen leg is long like that?

Lin Minjun felt wrong no matter how she thought about it, the person was injured for sure, but they should have lied as well, the injury was not as serious as they said

She stared at the patient for a while, pulling Erwa to the side, her voice lowered, “I think they’re lying, that person’s legs aren’t right”

Erwa then glanced over there, next to the pomegranate tree that had lost all its leaves, the patient was lying on the door slab, from his legs to his ankles all green and black, horrified, he didn’t dare to look at it a second time, because he was afraid that it was caused by himself, he only wanted to hit a stick to give himself some anger in the first place, and escape in the meantime, he didn’t think of jeopardizing someone else’s life

He withdrew his gaze and held his sister’s hand tightly, not saying anything

Lin Minjun gently patted Erwa’s back and added, “You try to see if the leg is paralyzed or not”

“How do I try?” Erwa opened his mouth obscurely, finally finding his way back into his voice

Lin Minjun thought for a moment, “Take a cold hand and freeze him for a bit, or gently pinch him to see if he knows it hurts”

“Sister, but what if he’s really hurt? I can’t lay my hands on him” Panicked, Erwa clenched his fists and said

“How about I go? Boss, I dare you!” Dog egg stuck his head out and came over from the side

This voice startled both siblings, Lin Minjun looked at Dog Egg’s thievish, heartless look, her heart moved, “Then you go, don’t hurt anyone, just freeze him for a bit, don’t let anyone see it”

“Good nah, I’ll go now” The dog egg was simply excited, a look of wanting to solve the problems for the boss, said and rushed over

He was also followed by a trailing behind, Dog Egg’s younger brother, Steel Egg, was at the age where he couldn’t walk properly, and loved to follow the older kid’s butt

“Brother, wait for me, wait for me” Little Steel Egg said after him

Dog egg deliberately ran around in the yard, “You come to chase me ah, little steel egg, chase to me to give you candy to eat”

When he walked to the door panel, he stretched out his frostbite covered hand and grabbed the patient’s ankle, and quickly let go, passing by once more, he pinched again

Lin Minjun stood staring at the side at this time, looking at the expression on the patient’s face, not realizing that this person was calm, froze without saying a word, but also kept holding his head in ouch ouch ouch, saying that he had a headache that was going to explode

Unbelievably, the injury is really serious?

Then this is troublesome, this family is afraid to rely on the second child

“Brother, wait for me, wait for me” Steel egg was still chasing after him with a shake, the child didn’t know how to go around, seeing that his brother was standing right across from the door panel, steel egg climbed right over the patient and pressed his elbow on one of the most vulnerable places

Lin Minjun then saw the patient fiercely wide-eyed, pain suffocated red face, even more ridiculous is that he was only wearing socks, can clearly see his left toes violently curled together, right toes violently open, pain almost jumped up

Just ask someone with frozen legs below the waist, can their toes be so flexible?

So Lin Minjun was completely certain that they were cheating, they were here to blackmail!

Is that possible? When Erwa is a fat sheep, can anyone come and glean a handful?

Lin Minjun looked at the ‘patient’ who was still squealing, and his elderly mother who was making a lot of noise, and had an idea in her heart

Pretend to be sick? If you have the ability to pretend to the end!
